Printer inks command a premium due to heavy investment in proprietary technology and research and development (R&D). Proprietary technology closely guarded by the manufacturer makes printer ink/toner exclusivity and expensive. The R&D involved in chip and ink quality sets the genuine cartridges far apart from the compatible ink cartridges.
What is the difference between XL high yield and standard ink cartridges? And how much ink is in each printer cartridge?
The main difference between the two is actually the amount of ink in each cartridge. Standard ink cartridge contains less ink and is, therefore, less expensive than high yield cartridge. XL or high yield cartridge contains more ink and therefore can be used to print more pages at a better value per page.
So, are XL ink cartridges worth buying? As mentioned above, XL cartridges are more expensive than standard cartridges. That said, they are also more cost-effective because the average cost per page is lower, making them a good choice for people who print frequently or who want to save money in the long run.
But is it cheaper to buy a new printer?
On the face of it it may appear cheaper to buy a new printer rather than replacement inks but you must factor in that most new printers have what they call introductory cartridges which is another way of saying you get less ink. In addition you have the hassle of time spent setting up the new printer and disposing of the old one.
